    And Clancy is Irish - and he's been letting the Connacht defence live offside throughout the game.

    Irish refs always try to be objective, the Welsh however never do based on tonight.

    Oh dear.....Connacht in tatters.

    I don't see where any points are going to come from this year on the first 4 games.

    Just woeful really.

    This has been an unbelievably sloppy performance by Connacht. Does it not rain in Galway? It seems as if none of the Connacht players are used to this weather.

    How did the assistant not see that hand in the scrum prior to the last try??

    Leighton Hodges was it?

    Connacht have really crumbled.


  • Registered Users Posts: 24,767 ✭✭✭✭molloyjh


    Bad as Clancy has been Connacht have been worse in the last 10 especially. Scarlets have at least been a consistent level of crap. Connacht have allowed themselves to get worse. Personnel obviously a big part but still they don't deserve anything from this half.

    'remember the car park leighton' he thinks to himself as he watches the scrum

    Connacht just being driven backwards now. This is awful.

    Marmion charged down twice within sight of his own tryline just shouldnt be happening

    Ah Clancy you're just a joke. A Scarlets player in from the side, standing offside and obstructing Connacht defenders from getting to the ruck - RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOUR FACE - and you stand there like an open-mouthed buffoon. No penalty.

    Hard to win against 16...


  • Registered Users Posts: 888 ✭✭✭Cathalthesmart


    Drop the ball of course...sums up the second half for Connacht.


  • Registered Users Posts: 341 ✭✭jam83


    Blade needs to look where he's going to pass before he gets to the ruck. He may as well be pointing to where he's about to pass it he's so obvious

    TOH not allowed play the ball there. Clear pen to Connacht. Ignored.

    Hard to win when your own players play with a high degree of ineptitude

    Scarlets have been inept too but haven't had the extra man handicap... :rolleyes:

    A little bit from column A, a little bit from column B. Confidence is going to be a huge issue for Connacht now. Lam will need to seriously earn his coin from here.

    Dillane looks fecked


  • Registered Users Posts: 888 ✭✭✭Cathalthesmart


    Connacht finally do something right in this second half with that kick to Healy and what does he do? He knocks on.....oh so typical!

    Your use of the word "always" qualified by the words "based on tonight" in the same sentence is causing my Boolean logic processor a lot of problems. :confused:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,496 ✭✭✭irishgrover


    In all honesty if Clancy and his two assistants togged out for Connacht they still would not be worth the win.... Some questionable officialdom but did not excuse by any means such a poor Connacht performance..


  • Registered Users Posts: 888 ✭✭✭Cathalthesmart


    Connacht's handling has been laughably bad tonight! Tonights performance was worse than the first 2 maulings, the only difference was the first 2 teams where good.

    Thought Clancy was fine. Scarlets were far better overall, their own lack of cutting edge and probably the weather kept the score tight.

    Two poor teams, in poor conditions with poor officiating. That may be one of the worst games of rugby I watch all season.

    True, compare that to the game in Glasgow last night played in similar conditions..... Now that was a game

    That was depressing from Connacht tonight. And they are at the bottom of the table - nul points. Right Pat Lam, you have a big challenge here.

    Are we dropping the Pat Lam for Ireland then or what?

    On the positive side, look who Connacht have lost to. Not exactly bottom feeders.

    Now Edinburgh at home next week is a must win. They're useless. Connacht have to put the best foot forward in Europe so the home bankers in the league need to be won.


  • Registered Users Posts: 341 ✭✭jam83


    Scarlets were terrible yet Connacht were worse. The team haven't improved much, they look competitive only because the level of opposition was worse than Glasgow and Ospreys.

    Confidence for Edinburgh will be rock bottom.

    We don't make penalties count because of the kicking problem.
    Yet when Scarlets did the same, missing was it 9 or 11 points in the first half, we still missed that penalty. A mile wide.
    It changed the end of the game from
    a single score match to a two score match. Psychologically that's massive coming into the last 5 mins.

    We should have a whip round to pay out boshoffs contract and get him over during the week!

    Have Connacht been the worst team in the league so far this season? You'd have to say yes. Even Zebre were decent today despite losing and would have beaten Connacht last week only for the thunderstorm.

    I only saw the second half but I don't think you can blame the ref for that one.

    How many Connacht lineouts ended up with Lanelli getting the ball for example.

    I also think Lanelli played a smart defensive game against Conn too. A rush or fast attacking defence really negates the way Conn play, how many times did we see man and ball tackles from the Lanelli defence?

    It has to be said in that weather today an open passing attacking game is going to struggle.

    Dragons push them close to be fair, Edinburgh have also been brutal but at least they had a little bit of fight in them vs Leinster and Munster and of course beat Scarlets.

    On current form Connacht won't win a game this season. Hard to win when you can't score, can't defend and definitely canr't kick. Is Carty in a personal competition with himself to see how much wider he can kick the next penalty than the previous one?
